he didnt stop trying you idiots. thats the difference between him ^ people like lil wayne n shit. 50 cent got rich, and kept it REAL. that i mean by this, is he doesnt live in the hood anymore so why would he rap like he does. instead he raps about his actual life unles hes telling stuff from past experience.
The major styles from back then, Nas (couldn't be duplicated at the time...closest style was AZ), Snoop (even Snoop couldn't copy his style from back then...but DPG tried), Notorious (everyone respected what B.I.G. was doing so no one was going to copy his style...similar to Nas), Jay-Z (Style copied by DMX and Ja Rule), Big L (But his style was super bananas and required a larger vocabulary--like Nas'--and a broader perspective of the world).
@lilplayboy98 Something not to forget is that Jay wasn't as big or influential as he is now. Gorwing up back then, I respected what Jay was doing (to the fullest) but thought Nas would've been the legend that Jay has become. Jay was a materialistic expression of Hip-Hop and I thought Nas' introspection/enlightenment approach would've reigned supreme. Nas remains a legend and one of the most respected, but it's clear that Jay's influence won out... Kind of sad to me, but I'm happy for both...
@neogenesys2012 hold on hold on before you get into your own opinion of what hip hop is, or you think it might be, let me start off by saying.! yes, Jayz was already getting big.! 50 has said in those times, "50, jayz, and nas" also he bumped into jay-z once after performing at a concert.! of course he looked up to him, but needed to beef with jayz in order to climb to the top.! listen to his way of speaking, he sounds like him in the video.
@lilplayboy98 I absolutely agree with you...and, indeed, I know the song you're referring to where 50 said what you quoted.
Maybe I didn't put my words together clearly.
I guess what I'm correlating is that Jay then compared to Jay now, is not even the same league... The level of influence Jay has had since the "In My Lifetime" series...
Regardless, I was under the impression that Jay sparked at 50 with the IMLv2 "I'm about a dolla, what the f is 50 Cent?" remark. Guess I missed something.
@neogenesys2012 i'll check back on that, you might be right. but i'm sure 50 said something, then jay-z told him, "you know i have to get you back, right??" and then that same night, in that same concert he said, "im about a dolla, what is 50 cent??"
@neogenesys2012 98 is for 1998, i was 13 at the time as i stated in my previous comments perhaps. yeah, those are from some of his older works. which one are you looking up???
50 was raw back then... even his first album was ill. he was lyrically sound and still had that raw street quality.....after the he fell off and never got up.
@tduncan93 ofcourse he cant rap like he did back THAN , that was different times and he grew up. He still the only nigga in the game right now who still keeping it real
@AlexBoy123HBG What is he doing to "keep it real" that the other "niggas in the game" arent doing right now? Come on, hes as big of a tool as any successful rapper at this point.
He's one of the richest rappers out there. He's established an empire and continues to make millions a year off his business entrepreneurial (hustler) skills. How did he stop trying? He doesn't NEED to rap anymore. He doesn't rap the same, but I give him props for making something out of himself after being raised in such a horrible situation (never knew his father and mom was murdered when he was a child). Even if you don't like his new musical style, at least respect the hustle.
before wayne was on.... he was gettin fucked by baby. before rick ross was on... he was workin in a jail.. before game was on he was in college and dancing at his moms strip club.. before 50 was on he was laced in gold rappin wit mad cats showin him respect.... whos real?
he didnt get shot yet you can see he didnt have the scar on his cheek from when he was shot in the face sittin in the back seat of his homie's car 0:27
50 cent's gang is the biggest in the city they called the NYPD. Stop talking so much you weren't hot than and you sure ain't hot now. You got lucky and made yourself a whole bunch of money from white suburban kids who sing IT"S UR BIRTHDAY B.S. --D-Block BX Boro 144th and park 50 cent i'll take your last two quarters
@chiefslapahole Snoop is the only nigga from the west who is poppin. Game is a fake gangbanger from his moms stripclub. NY is running this shit right now
